The Dominoes are Falling

I just received this via e-mail from Bix Wier:

'It's so
ugly out in the banking world...THAT THEY CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT!!! The
world is silent. The stock market is all they see, hear and taste. New
highs! New highs!! The world is great...just don't look under the hood.

Europe is imploding as we speak and it is spreading...count each domino...

DOMINO #1 - "In Austria whereby the "bad bank" of failed Hypo Alpe Adria - the Heta Asset Resolution AG - itself went from good to bad,
with its creditors forced into an involuntary "bail-in" following the
"discovery" of a $8.5 billion capital hole in its balance sheet
primarily related to ongoing deterioration in central and eastern
European economies."

DOMINO #2 - "This shocking announcement
promptly sent the price of Heta's bonds crashing as creditors, no longer
enjoying the explicit guarantee of the state, scrambled to get out of
"northern Europe's" first Lehman moment."

DOMINO #4 - "The Heta
bonds are notionally guaranteed by the Austrian state of Carinthia,
which is now theoretically becomes liable for the bail-in."

DOMINO #5 - "Carinthia provides deficiency guarantee on Heta's senior
debt: the total is equivalent to €10.2 billion, or nearly five times the
state's 2014 operating revenue."

DOMINO #6 - "In other words,
we now have a waterfall bailout chain whereby the state guaranteeing the
debt of the insolvent entity that guaranteed yet another insolvent
entity, will itself need to be bailed out by the sovereign, Austria!"

DOMINO #8 - "There is an incentive for the member banks
to jointly step in for missing payments from HETAR, as otherwise debt
holders of PFBKOS bonds could claim payment from any of the member banks
individually."

DOMINO #9 - "A number of Austrian banks
including HYPO NOE GRUPPE AG and Vorarlberger Landes- und Hypothekenbank
AG reported in their annual accounts for 2013 that they had direct
exposure to HAA."

DOMINO #10 - "Many have been saying that one
should have known that a province like Carinthia can’t guarantee for
debts of that size.”

DOMINO #11 - "The very same bonds that are
about to lead to a waterfall in impairments are the ones that were,
according to EU regulations, "riskless."

DOMINO #12 - "As of year-end 2013, there were about €60bn of claims guaranteed by Austrian regions."

DOMINO #13 - "German banks yesterday also emerged as major Heta
bondholders. Dexia’s Dexia Kommunalbank Deutschland AG said it owns 395
million euros of Heta bonds and will take an unspecified charge in the
first quarter."

DOMINO #14 - "Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG also
owns 395 million euros of Heta bonds and said it will write them down by
120 million euros, cutting its expected pretax profit by two-thirds."

DOMINO #15 - "NRW Bank confirmed it owned Heta bonds, declining to
specify the size of its exposure. WDR TV station reported the bank owns
276 million euros of them."

DOMINO #16 - and finally...

"While German banks had spent the past 3 years preparing for the
inevitable Grexit and offloading all their exposure to the now insolvent
Greek state, it was a waterfall chain of events which started in
Germany's own "back yard", courtesy of auditors who decided it was
unnecessary to mark losses to market until it was far too late, and the
immediate outcome is that one ninth of until recently Aaa/AAA-rated
Austria is now also insolvent. And that is just the beginning."
